Tangling with the Western Commander - Chapter 231

Chapter 231: Chapter 228: He Will Give Her the Best

She said, “As your fiancee, I’m proud of you.”

He asked, “So when are you ready to marry me?”

Wen Xian leaned against his shoulder, her eyes slightly reddening, “Anytime.”

After she had spoken, and slowly pulled away from him, her moist eyes held a soft smile:

“The sooner the better. It doesn’t matter if we don’t have a house, as long as the groom is you. I don’t want any dowry; in fact, I’d pay you.”

Just because this man was Lu Xiao, no one could deserve her more.

At these words, Lu Xiao was left speechless.

The usually unflappable depths of his eyes seemed to have a stone thrown into the serene lake they resembled.

The man’s eyes reflected her image, Lu Xiao gently raised his hand and caressed her cheek. Finally, between breaths, a faint chuckle seemed to escape, “Silly girl, who ever does that?”

“Well, here you have it. As long as I can have you and we share a household registration, any method will do,” she said, lifting her chin slightly.

“No, you need to have your own principles.”

Lu Xiao countered her, and when he spoke again, his eyes, amused, held a touch of indescribable seriousness: “If I marry you, whatever others have, you will also have, and even if others don’t, you still will.”

At these words, her heart suddenly trembled.

Lu Xiao’s smile gradually faded, his gaze deeply locked on hers.

He said, “Within my power, I will give you the best of everything, and in the future, it will be even better.”

Because, in the future, he would no longer be alone, having a wife and children, he would strive to provide them with the best life, yet it would never be enough.

Wen Xian just looked at him, bit her lip lightly, and her eyes slightly moistened.

She wasn’t facing a man who knew nothing, plunging headlong into it, moved by some sweet words that wouldn’t happen.

Because no one knew better than she did, how sincere those words were coming from him, a man of few words and a stern Captain.

He was always the one to act, ambitious, responsible, and dependable.

Most importantly, he gave her a sense of security that no one else could provide.

“Lu Xiao, do you know what I whispered by your left ear that time?”

Wen Xian looked at him, her eyes slightly red, yet her lips curved into a smile.

Lu Xiao: “…?”

Wasn’t it the phrase she had shouted across the grasslands?

Wen Xian laughed out loud, “You see, your ears are at a loss. What I said was, ‘I like you, so very much.’”

Lu Xiao looked at her, stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, his ears felt a bit warm.

Her soft body lunged at him again, she tiptoed and once again pressed close to his left ear, her lips moved slightly, whispering something.

At the end of her whisper, she quickly kissed him on the earlobe.

Instantly, the man’s earlobe turned a faint red, not to mention his body tensed up.

“What did you say?”

Wen Xian playfully turned her back to him with a small smile, “Want to know? It’s your fault for not hearing; why don’t you beg me?”

After that, without waiting for his response, she quickly walked away, her radiant smile under the sunlight dazzlingly capturing all attention.

It seemed, in that moment, even though he couldn’t hear with his left ear, he could still guess what she had said.

Lu Xiao just watched her, his heart slowly dropping a few words:

Wen Xian, me too.

…

Because there are quite a few reporters around now, as the film press conference hasn’t entirely finished, she asked Lu Xiao to take her out to eat.

Lu Xiao hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed.

Yet, within Wen Xian, a ripple of suspicion emerged, wondering if it was just her illusion.

She felt as if he was hiding some concerns…?
